'94 E420 177K- (for sale, parts car) '92 300E 179K (LEMON)
Unhappy Parting out my E420 :(

So, the repairs I have to do on my '94 E420 are astronomical and I can no longer afford to maintain the car. As much as it kills me to do it, I'm being forced to sell my car for parts. The car has 177k, and the engine and transmission are in perfect working order, AND I just put in brand new breaks and rotors. How much should I ask for this car? Should I sell things like the engine and transmission separately? Right now it's listed on NH craigslist for 2,000 or best offer. Thanks for any advice.

I would guess that parting it out would make you more..... But obvously take longer.

In Michigan I've seen some cars listed from 2g's to 6g's... But all e320s

What's is wrong with the car?
Interior and exterior color?

Sorry the interior is grey... I have it listed for $2k, but I was thinking I could probably make close to that on the engine alone... right?
